German security officials say left-wing extremists have become more willing to use violence over the past five years.

Figures released by the domestic intelligence agency BfV on Wednesday show the number of left-wing extremists whom authorities consider potentially violent rose 27 percent from 7,100 to about 9,000 between 2012 and 2017.

The number of violent crimes committed by left-wing extremists rose 88 percent during that period, to 1,648 from 876.

Well, if they would pull the curtain back....probably a quarter of all the crime they refer to in this report....goes back to July 2017 and the Hamburg G-7 Conference. Virtually every car burned...every garbage dumpster burned....every building looted...led back to left-wing violence and anti-capitalists.

Exactly. No depth at all to this article. Any of us could have written it at home, on our couch while eating chips and drinking beer, in our pajamas!

Pull the curtain back? That would require journalistic effort on their part and take time away from reporting on all the “right wing” extremists (i.e. sensible folks).

The Left in Germany has venerated the Baader-Meinhof Gang, like our Left has venerated the Black Panthers.

Yep, for many on Germany’s Left, the Red Army Faction/Baader-Meinhof Gang is venerated just like Che with all those damned T-Shirts.

Well, if they are reporting on an increase of violence from leftist groups, I think that’s actually a bit of good news, since it essentially means even the leftist media are now not going to give those leftist groups a pass for their vile acts unlike during the 1960s where they largely did give them a pass, like the Weather Underground or SDS for example. It’s not much, but it’s still something, better than what the 1960s and 1970s got from the same groups.
